Jeter fielded ground balls, took batting practice and ran the bases Wednesday morning in Tampa, reporting no issues with his once-strained right calf.

He’ll continue doing similar workouts through the end of this week and will fly out to Trenton on Friday if everything continues to go smoothly.

Jeter is sitting on 2,994 career major league hits and should be able to get back to his pursuit of 3,000 early next week. The Yanks begin a three-game series on Monday in Cleveland then return to New York on Friday for a lengthy homestand. Unless Jeter falls into a major slump upon returning, it seems likely that he will register hit No. 3,000 at Yankee Stadium.

Does anyone else think Baseball is a weak sport. Any sport where you play almost 200 games isn’t really a sport, it’s an activity. Baseball is America’s past time, and Football is the present. How long until Baseball becomes obsolete like horse racing and boxing? Anytime I try to watch a Baseball game, i see a bunch of overpaid “athletes” standing around, adjusting their jocks, wristbands, gloves and hat. Any sport wear the coach wears a uniform isn’t a real sport. All of this while the other team stands around in a dugout doing nothing. It’s a slow boring game for boring people. Stadiums are empty, and it’s time to move on. Put Pete Rose in the HOF and close the doors.

Wait a minute, you think baseball is boring because people are standing around all the time, and to contrast it to another sport you pick football? Are you kidding me or is this a dumb troll attempt*? Start of a football game goes as such:

Coin Flip
Timeout
Kickoff
Timeout
4 downs punt
Timeout

Have you ever watched a professional game live? After a change of possession the players are just standing around waiting for the commercial break to come back.

*considering the last comment about Rose, yeah definitely a troll attempt.

Baseball would be a real fun sport to watch if they could implement a pitching clock, like a Shot clock in Basketball. Then people under the age of 50 might start to watch, and fill those empty stadiums. Oh yeah, and have a salary cap so the league isn’t a monopoly. God MLB is a joke.
